Equal probability

Yes.

[teekz]

I usually check out after the national anthem and color bars

 

After that, it is time to find beer, right?

[Squirrel]

I think Eric Sogard is really cute.

[James]

I have a tile contractor coming tomorrow to give me an estimate. I really should clean so his estimate doesn't include hazard pay.

I'm pretty sure someone has used the name "Hazard Pay" for a band before.  Tile Contractor... probably  not.

[stringer bell]

I think a no-no is pretty likely. The closest the Twins were to a hit so far was Santana's chopper.

He looks like the type that would be in the market for new electronics on an almost daily basis.

[Squirrel]

Pee? No

I guess I'm setting you up all over the place today.

Tile Contractor? There is such an animal.

Someone needs to get in Lester's head and try to bunt his way on.

[Thegrin]

with our hopes sinking like a lead balloon we digress into possible band names.

 

We may be watching history tonight.  but at least it will be quick and painless

I'll leave that one for snepp, but given my current avatar I'm thinking Poisoned Dwarf has a nice ring to it.

I wouldn't say painless.

I believe that would be bad form.  The next guy up might get beaned.

Girls always go for the guys in Glasses.

 

Eric: Hello... I'm Eric Sogard... I'm a professional baseball player. I play infield for the...

Random Person: Baseball? Professional? You wear glasses? You mean umpire?

[Riverbrian]

I believe that would be bad form. The next guy up might get beaned.

Will... Get... Beaned. If not Billy Beane will do something.

[snepp]

I believe that would be bad form.  The next guy up might get beaned.

 

That would be multiple base runners in the same inning. May as well go unicorn hunting instead.

We digressed into band names long before the idea of a perfect game was ever really brought up.

Random Person: You had me at hello.

FTFY

Unicorn Hunter has a nice ring to it.

 

That shall be my band name.  We shall play the heaviest of metal.

unbelievable

[snepp]

Location: The dive bars of NE Minneapolis

Have you done the NE pub mosey?

[James]

Have you done the NE pub mosey?

Why do an organized pub crawl around Northeast when I do my own pub mosey by myself on an almost nightly basis?

[Squirrel]

Who's attending the Pub Crawl?

[teekz]

I believe that would be bad form.  The next guy up might get beaned.

 

If Arcia does it against the shift, the next batter is Suzuki. Oakland would boo Lester if he beaned Zuk...

[stringer bell]

I didn't see the whole field, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have a chance to get Jaso. Dozier had to move a few steps to his left and then make a long throw to second.

[Willihammer]

I think Eric Sogard is really cute.

IKR? Only... look at that unibrow?

I actually don't know when it is.

The box score header on ESPN is getting more blue by the second

[USAFChief]

I see Baltimore beat San Francisco 23-3 in the first NFL preseason game of the year.

 

Based on this, I predict the Vikings will miss the playoffs this year.

[USAFChief]

G'night, most of you'se.
